FREE Criminal Background Checks At BidABuilder.com For Any Homeowner Looking To Hire

June 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Many people hire workers without thinking about their potential criminal background. Sometimes charming contractors (who can sweet talk their way into working for you) have something to hide. Every day it seems another news story appears with references to shady contractors who prey upon unsuspecting homeowners in search of a “deal” on home improvement and renovation projects.

http://BidABuilder.com, a free service designed to protect homeowners and collect bids and estimates, can help you protect your family and property from criminals posing as service professionals or general contractors. FOR A LIMITED, TIME BIDABUILDER.COM IS OFFERING FREE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ANY CONTRACTOR YOU ARE LOOKING TO HIRE OR HAVE ALREADY HIRED. Of course, if you need a contractor and are planning on hiring, you can use the http://BidABuilder.com website system to create the project and get bids and estimates from general contractors. ALL BidABuilder.com’s contractors have passed a criminal background check. Many other list directories, home advising and home improvement services do not offer this level of safety. BidABuilder.com also goes the extra mile to look at their trade license and makes sure they have up-to-date insurance (to further protect you from liability). These “three level checks” make it very difficult for contractor predators to scam you, take your hard earned money and run, or worse; perpetrate a violent crime against you or a member of your family.

CONTRACTOR PREDATORS ON THE LOOSE
Unfortunately, the statistics behind contractor fraud are sobering. According to BidABuilers.com’s own internal report 40% of the contractors who try to sign up get rejected because they have some sort of ‘criminal past’ or lost their license due to an infraction. Google.com has 35,800,000 million results for “Contractor Frauds” to demonstrate the scale and scope of the problem. Many city building department and state building agencies encourage homeowners to perform this type of check before they hire...but who has the time? In fact, an entire website is dedicated to tracking the many and various frauds 'so called' contractors are perpetrating on consumers. http://www.contractorfraud.net documents fraud on elderly homeowners, homes that need seasonal repairs like chimney’s and heating units or frauds carried out by unscrupulous air conditioning and driveway paving services specifically.

The risk to homeowners is real and BidABuilder.com is alerting consumers to this potential for being victimized. But the fact remains, many bad contractors who are roaming neighborhoods soliciting victims should be in prison. These unscrupulous people can easily move from one victim to another and from town to town without much interruption in their scams.
